I am not family but I have been a member of your family for over 60 years in my heart. I told you many times that I love you and you told me that you loved me. I hold you in my heart forever. Rest in Peace Alice. 

Alice, you were like a second mother to me growing up. I will always remember how you always wanted me to do your hair. I grew up more in your home than my own. I think of you all the time and love you lots. 

Loved giving Alice a hard time, always telling her I needed gas money to come visit her, having her over for a night and talking about the Old Days, talking about the family and the many trips she's been on.   I would often tell her some wild story about something and she would look at me and say "Really" - then I'd have to tell her another story to cover for the first one.  By the time I was through she always told me she didn't know what to believe.  I am glad that I was there when her Spirit left her and ascended into Heaven. She will be missed by many.

Grandma Bokonich and my Mom were so close in age they got along beautifully.  They used to chat and laugh at family get togethers like girls talking about boys.  When my Mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and dementia, Grandma always asked how she was doing.   We all love her dearly and will miss her great personality.  She always had a smile on her face and a song in her heart.  She's finally home with the 2 loves of her life....Jesus and Grandpa. 💞

Alice was a beaitiful person who loved life. My favorite memory is when she and my mom would get together and share a bottle of asti spumante.  They both loved life.
